According to a recent article by Rachal Bachman of The Oregonian, reports requested from the University of Oregon are missing one key detail - text messages. When the Oregon Public Record's Law was inacted in 1961, they had no way of knowing that text messages would exist. Due to this, the law does not require records to be kept of SMS messages.
While attention has been brought to this situation, and the law will most likely be changed, confusion is at an all-time high. How are records supposed to be kept? Should every athlete and individual surrounding the organization be required to save every text? The cell phone companies themselves don't archive them as the servers would explode.
Who knew that text messaging would be the future of crime.
